As Archduke Franz Ferdinand drove past Schiller's Cafe in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, his motorcade was unexpectedly halted due to a wrong turn. In that moment of confusion, Gavrilo Princip, a member of the nationalist group known as the Black Hand, took the opportunity to approach the vehicle and fired two shots, fatally wounding both the Archduke and his wife, Sophie. This assassination set off a chain of events that ultimately led to the outbreak of World War I.

Who ordered the attempted assassination of Franz Ferdinand?
The black hand, a Serbian group, decided to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The assassination does not appear to be 'ordered', which would imply that a command was given and a different person or persons would then carry out the assassination attempt. The initial attempt was a tossed bomb which was deflected by the Archduke and left the royals uninjured. After the bungled attempt, the vehicle driver made a wrong turn and drove past a deli where one of the conspirators (Gavrillo Princip) had gone after the bungled attempt. Gavrillo Princip was an expert marksman and was armed with a .22 Browning Pistol and fired two rounds killing each of his targets.
